I need to quickly setup a temporary BBS/message board system for the fires in San Diego. We just want people to post if they have rooms available. So I'm looking for a a very simple and easy to get running BBS system. Any suggestions?

Anyone using or recomend a content management system that will install without out a lot of mucky muck on a Centos3 system? I looked at Zope but it needs a newer Python, Midgaard looks likes it's geared towards RHEL4. OpenCMS looks like it runs on java so that might work. I have yet to look at Rubyrails and Django.

I had asked a few months ago if anyone knew if mondo is compatible with CentOS4. One person said it was still working, but never mentioed if he had done a restore. I had the stable version installed and whenever I ran it there were a few messages about command not found. Well, I had a HD go out and tried booting from the CD and it failed. It was just my desktop PC and my home dir was backed up a

One of my future projects is to get squid working with ldap and novell. Has anyone had experience doing this on CentOS/RHEL? I''ve never worked with ldap, and I''m barely familiar with novell. I''m mostly looking to see if there are any issues I''ll have before I get into reading ldap docs and such. I''ll be using CentOS3.4.

I've been working on my first install of Xen all morning. I grabbed the RHEL rpms torrent from http://www.xensource.com/xen/downloads/dl_x30rhel4_bt.html yesterday. I've tried a few tutorials and I have the same results, a kernelpanic and a quick reboot (can't see what the error is). After some poking around, it looks like al lthe xen stuff has a 64 in it. Are those rpm's supposed

I have a cisco router sending syslog messages to a linux server. I've been looking around on how to log those into a separate file and I've run across using local7 in various howtos. It looks like you can have 8 different local log settings, but I can't seem to find any docs on how to set those up. Anyone have a howto on that?

Any recommendations for log servers? Mostly for firewall activity but I'd like to use one for squid also if one is available.

I'm starting to play around with nagios, as others already know the configs are a pain lol. I looked at monarch but it needs mysql 4 and also nagmin for webmin but either I dont have all the paths setup correctly or it just doesn't work. Anyone have a config gui that works on a standard CentOS3 install?

Anyone use the spell check in OO on Cent4? When I start the spell checker, it has the dialog to change misspelled words, I select the properly spelled words but it never changes the words in the document. Anyone else get this or is there some config I need to set to save changes for the spell checker?

Since I upgraded to 4.2 it looks like the cache memory doesn't go over about 70K or so. I have over 700K free and it started using swap, which doesn't normally happen for a few days or so. Any hints on what might be up? This is just after a compile and the cached is only 75k total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1032848 263992 768856 0

The update feature in FF appears to be disabled, which is fine since I upgrade from the repositories. But it looks like the extension updates are disabled as well. Even if I go to the extensions menu, right click on update they don't seem to update. Is there a setting to enable extension updates? I set extension.update.autoupdate to true in about:config and that didn't seem to help.

I've done a test backup/restore on Centos3 with mondo, any one know if it works with Centos4? If so, same packages in from /mnt/cdrom/RPMS/RHE/3.0 I dont have a Ceontos4 test machine handy to mess around with

I've noticed my disk space filling up rapidy on my mail server, I noticed that /var/log/audit.d is using 2.1 G. Is it safe to remove those log files?

At one of our sites we have most outgoing ports blocked and everyone going through squid for web access. But it seems Windows autoupdate doesn't pick up the local users proxy settings so we ended up opening port 80 to some of the windows update servers. While searching around I found and option called custom-proxy-server but I don't see that setting in the man pages. Anyone have
